Biosphere - Precis Maps

A précis map represents the locations of different categories of information, for example vegetation type.

An example of a précis map:
You can see that it is focusing only on one feature (vegetation type)
You could be asked questions like:
·      What is the vegetation type to the west of the river? (grasslands)
·      Why do you think the tropical rainforest is located where it is? (it’s close to the river – access to water)

Picture
Task: Examine a topographic map of an area you have studied. Create a précis map showing the major vegetation types in the area.

You will need:
·      Blank paper
·      A topographic map which includes vegetation
·      A ruler
·      Coloured pencils
